The John Roan School is an existing 1,400-pupil secondary school adjacent to Greenwich Park. John McAslan + Partners was appointed in 2010 to remodel both the existing Grade II listed building and to provide 8,000 sqm of new school and community accommodation across the split-site campus.
Founded in 1957, the Middle East Centre at St Antony’s College serves as the University of Oxford’s facility for research and teaching on the Arab world, Iran, Israel and Turkey from the 19th century to the present day, with its focus on the research of humanities and social sciences. The centre has been housed at 68 Woodstock Road (the former rectory of the Church of St Philip and St James, built in 1887) since 1978.
